Great question and remarkably poor insight on the part of PSU. If I had to guess, I would say they have been so powerful in their small town in rural PA and gotten away with so much for so long, they just can’t fathom how they can lose.

DID YOU ASK HER IF KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS FALL OUT AFTER THREE WEEKS?

Someone I know who gets lash extensions got sooo offended when I called them false lashes. She informed me that it was exactly the same as getting a kidney transplant, they were a part of her.

I still have my T-shirt with Mary Todd on the front with the line “You’d have to be crazy to live in Springfield.”

Disagree completely. I am female, a Deadspin lover and Jezebel lover. Bobby’s take on this was perhaps the best thing I have read on either site today in light of the mass tragedy and sadness that has been these last few days.

My unsolicited advice, Bobby: if you don’t care, don’t Carol

I’ve thought about this and realized that it can be both. I believe he thinks his daughter is an exceptional woman (and not just the whole “if she wasn’t my daughter I’d...” bit of effluvia). I believe he encouraged her. Because she’s his. And that alone makes her exceptional by virtue of those yugely great genes. But…

That is not saying you are “wrong.” I was just offering a different perspective. Everything is not black and white, particularly when talking about litigation tactics. I’m sorry you got upset over someone trying to have a reasonable discussion with you.

Which part of my statement said you were wrong?

As the story notes, it is a tactic to keep the plaintiffs from appealing. I see it all the time. The plaintiffs will agree to not appeal, and the claim for fees and costs will be dismissed. And, yeah, you should if you are out 700K for a frivolous claim. I see people all the time bitch about what a sue-happy society…

I spent the last few weeks thinking of a tree that we used to have in the backyard of our old house. All those hours I spent under that tree looking up as the sunlight dripped like honey through the leaves. When the thin cold wire of time wasn’t pressing pushing tight against my neck. There was time back then. There’s…

Don’t make fun! I’m sure with Brexit he’s had a really hard day already.

I used to believe that all men had that fantasy. Then I figured out that I was trans and had no idea how cismen thought.

As I said in another thread: It’s not just “teenage girls” they want to be—it’s not normal zitty, chubby, still-haven’t-figured-out-what-to-do-with-their-hair, hormonal-B.O.-problem teenage girls. No. It’s a certain kind of slender, beautiful, hairless, children-but-with-breasts kind of teenage girls that these guys…

If it makes you feel any better (it probably won’t — sorry in advance), people who say stupid shit like this about Lolita have rarely read the book. So Refn is pontificating about a book that he likely never read — I would bet my heart-shaped sunglasses on it

I voted for Stein in the previous election, partly because I live in Massachusetts and there was no way Obama would lose there. But the short-term implications of allowing Trump to become President are completely unacceptable. The long-term implications are also likely to be severely negative. I agree that we need to…

A nice illustration of why this form of direct democracy isn’t a good idea, and why I have a hard time taking populist political platforms seriously.

Idiot hates internetisms
